I am experimenting with my router's "Access and Permissions" and one of the
fields is IP address There is the PC IP address and the router IP address's.
I forgot the quick way to find my computers IP, and how do I find the IP of
other PC's on my network? The instructions are breif and designed for people
who allready know allot about networking and routers (Linksys)

There are several free network scanning tools. I use, and recommend, AngryIP
Scanner, and SoftPerfect Scanner. I've reviewed them in this article.

Your router will have a log of ip addresses handed out by its DHCP server. If a
computer uses a fixed ip address, or is assigned an address by another server,
the router won't know about it.

The simplest way to find the ip address of another computer on the network
is to ping it:

start > run
cmd [enter]
c:> ping anoPc

If you are using DHCP then the IP addresses might change over time, so tying
security to a DHCP allocated IP address probably isn't a good idea - unless
you tied it to the range of IP addresses that DHCP is allocating from.
